Summer Thompson, PhD, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Taylor Lab at the Yale Department of Psychiatry, has been awarded a position on the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation training grant, “YCCI Multidisciplinary Post-Doctoral Training Program in Translational Research.”
The grant provides salary, tuition, and training expenses to postdoctoral trainees who are strongly committed to translational research. While the award will not fund the research itself, the project Thompson proposed in the grant was to study the role of the gut microbiome in complex decision-making in mice.
Awards are for one year, but recipients may request a second year of support.
Thompson earned her PhD in neurobiology from The University of Chicago in 2017.
